Scientific Name: Dracaena surculosa

-Care Recommendations by The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Dart frogs, chameleons, anoles, tree skinks, corn snakes, and various arboreal (tree-dwelling) reptiles and amphibians.  Please note that the leaves are fragile and may not support the weight of larger animals.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: All soil depths with proper drainage; soil depth of at least several inches preferred.

Lighting: Low to medium, or bright indirect light. May burn under a basking or heat light.

Humidity & Misting: 40%-100% suggested, with higher humidity levels preferred.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: These easy-to-grow tropical plants generally grow upright and are excellent in taller terrariums, or even just as good houseplants! They can grow several feet tall, and may require pruning if they begin to outgrow your enclosure. Cutting back these plants will encourage new growth further down on the stalks.

Mature root systems can weave their way throughout a terrarium’s substrate in extreme cases, but can be cut back if necessary without damaging the plant. The roots are not strong enough to damage a tank. It prefers moist, but well-drained, soil.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures or low humidity may cause leaves to brown. Prefers areas where it can grow taller and upwards. 

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Mildly toxic to cats and dogs if consumed. Not generally consumed by amphibians or reptiles.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted dracaena plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
